Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has acknowledged that intelligence services failed to predict the scale of the recent events in Ceuta. He stated improvements are needed in monitoring activities on social networks and the digital landscape more broadly. Sánchez defended the government’s response as an “intelligent attitude,” despite the lack of foresight. The admission comes after a significant influx of migrants arrived in Ceuta, a Spanish city in North Africa, raising questions about border security. The incident has prompted a review of intelligence gathering and analysis capabilities within Spain. Sánchez emphasized the need for enhanced digital surveillance to prevent similar situations in Ceuta from occurring in the future. The Spanish government is now focused on strengthening its monitoring systems.
